This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/498,736, filed Jul. 6, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,727.

The present invention relates to tetrazolinone derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to their use as herbicides, as well as to intermediates therefor.

It has already been known that tetrazolinone derivatives are useful as herbicides (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,618,365; 4,826,529; 4,830,661; 4,956,469; 5,003,075; 5,019,152; 5,342,954; 5,344,814; 5,347,009; 5,347,010 and 5,362,704). There have been found novel tetrazolinone derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR2## wherein R1 is alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl or phenyl which may be substituted, and

R2 is alkyl, haloalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl or phenyl which may be substituted, or

R1 and R2 may form, together with the nitrogen atom to which R1 and R2 are bonded, a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, said heterocyclic ring may be benzofused and may be substituted by one or more C1-4 alkyl radicals,

R3 is nitro, halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, alkylthio or phenoxy,

and

n is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and when n is 2 or 3, then R3 may be same or different.

The novel tetrazolinone derivatives of the formula (I) are obtained when

(a) compounds of the following formula (II) ##STR3## wherein R3 and n have the above mentioned meanings, are reacted with compounds of the following formula (III) ##STR4## wherein R1 and R2 have the above mentioned meanings, and hal represents a releasable group such as chlorine or bromine, in the presence of acid-binder, in the presence of inert solvents.

The novel tetrazolinone derivatives of the formula (I) exhibit powerful herbicidal properties.

Surprisingly, the tetrazolinone derivatives of the formula (I) according to the present invention exhibit a substantially higher herbicidal activity than those known from the prior an, for instance, the aforementioned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,618,365; 4,826,529; 4,830,661; 4,956,469; 5,003,075; 5,019,152; 5,342,954; 5,344,814; 5,347,009; 5,347,010 and 5,362,704.

In the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention, and the respective general formulae representing their intermediates employed for the production of the compounds formula (I), each of the halogen as well as the halogen parts of the haloalkyl, haloalkenyl and haloalkoxy represent fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine, preferably chlorine or fluorine.

Alkyl is, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-)butyl, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)pentyl or n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)hexyl.

Haloalkyl is the above mentioned alkyl groups substituted with the same or different halogen atoms, such as for example, trifluoromethyl, 2-chloroethyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl.

Cycloalkyl is, for example, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl or cyclooctyl.

Alkenyl is, for example, vinyl, allyl, isopropenyl, 1-methyl-2-propenyl, 2-methyl-2-propenyl, 2-(or 3-)butenyl or 2-(3- or 4-)pentenyl.

Haloalkenyl is the above mentioned alkenyl groups substituted with the stone or different halogen atoms, such as for example, 2-Chloro-2-propenyl.

The alkynyl represents, for example, propargyl.

The 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring contains, as a hetero-atom, at least one nitrogen and may contain further hetero-atoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Said heterocyclic group may be benzofused, and for example, pyrrolidinyl, 2,5-dimethylpyrrolidinyl, pyrrolinyl, 2,5-dimethyl-3-pyrrolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, pyrazolinyl, piperidyl, 2-methylpiperidyl, 2,6-dimethylpiperidyl, piperazinyl, indolinyl, morpholinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl or 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl can be exemplified.

Phenyl and phenoxy may optionally be substituted. The substituent(s) are selected from the group consisting of halogen, cyano, nitro, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy and alkylthio.

Alkoxy is for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-)butoxy, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)pentoxy or n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)hextoxy.

Alkylthio is, for example, methylthio, ethylthio, propylthio, isopropylthio, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-)butylthio, n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)pentylthio or n-(iso-, sec-, tert-, neo-)hexylthio.

Haloalkoxy is the above mentioned alkoxy substituted with the stone or different halogen atoms, for example, trifluoromethoxy.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying broad-leaved plants and, especially, as weedkillers.

By weeds, in the broadest sense, there are to be understood all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired. Whether the substances according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.

The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in connection with the following plants:

However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.

The compounds are suitable, depending on the concentration, for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail tracks, and on paths and squares with or without tree plantings. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.

The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, tablets, aerosols, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances, coating compositions for use on seed, and formulations used with burning equipment, such as fumigating cartridges, fumigating cans and fumigating coils, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.

These formulations may be produced in known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is to say liquid or liquefied gaseous or solid diluents or carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is to say emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents.

As liquid solvents diluents or carders, there are suitable in the main, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl napthalenes, chlorinated aromatic or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, as well as water.

By liquefied gaseous diluents or carriers are meant liquids which would be gaseous at normal temperature and under normal pressure, for example aerosol propellants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

As solid carders them may be used ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates. As solid carriers for granules them may be used crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks.

As emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there may be used non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene-acid esters, polyoxyethylene-alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products.

Dispersing agents include, for example, lignin sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, can be used in the formulation.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs or metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients, such as salts of iron, manganese boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain from 0.1 to 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferably from 0.5 to 90 per cent by weight.

The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in the form of their formulations, can also be used, for combating weeds, as mixtures with known herbicides, finished formulations or tank mixes being possible.

Mixtures with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellents, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, are also possible.

The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules.

They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing or scattering.

The active compounds according to the invention can be applied either before or after emergence of the plants. They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing. They are used, in particular, after emergence of the plants.

The amount of active compound used can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are between 0.001 and 10 kg of active compound per hectare of soil surface, preferably between 0.01 and 5 kg per ha.

The preparation and use of the active compounds according to the invention can be seen from the following examples.

1-(2-chloro-3-pyridyl)-5(4H)-tetrazolinone (1.0 g), diethylcarbamoyl chloride (0.7 g) and 4-dimethylaminopyridne (0.7 g) were suspended in toluene (15 ml).

Biological tests

PAC (Pre-emergence soil treatment test on upland weeds)

Formulation of Active Compounds

Carrier: 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of benzyloxy polyglycol ether

To prepare suitable formulations, 1 part by weight of each of the active compounds was mixed with the above-stated amounts of the carrier and the emulsifier, and the resulting emulsifiable concentrate was then diluted with water to the desired concentrations.

Test Procedure

In a greenhouse, a number of test pots each having an area of 120 cm2 were charged with soil taken from a cultivated field. Seeds of barnyard-grass and wild amaranth (Amaranthus blitum) were sown onto the soil surfaces in the respective test pots and each of the thus sown soil surfaces was covered with a soil layer.

Predetermined dosages of the active compounds of formulations prepared as mentioned above were uniformly sprayed onto the soil surface in the respective test pots.

Four weeks after the spraying of the active compound formulations, the herbicidal effects on the weeds were determined. The herbicidal effects were rated according to the following assessment:

Completely killed 100%

Condition equivalent to non-treated pots 0%

In the above-mentioned test, for example, compound Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25 and 26 according to the present invention showed 100% herbicidal effect against barnyard-grass and wild amaranth at a dosage of 1.0 kg/ha.

PAC (Post-emergence foliage treatment on upland weeds)

Test Procedure

In a greenhouse, a number of test pots each having an area of 120 cm2 were charged with soil taken from a cultivated field. Seeds of barnyard-grass and wild amaranth (Amaranthus blitum) were sown onto the soil surfaces in the respective test pots and each of the thus sown soil surfaces was covered with a soil layer.

Ten days after sowing (average 2 leaf stage of weeds), predetermined dosages of active compounds of formulations prepared as in Example 10 were uniformly sprayed onto the foliage portions of the test plants in the respective test pots.

Three weeks after the spraying of the active compound formulations, the herbicidal effects on the weeds were determined.

In the above mentioned test, for example, the compounds Nos. 1,4,13,15 and 22 according to the present invention showed 100% herbicidal effect against barnyard-grass and wild amaranth at a dosage of 1.0 kg/ha.
